My baby drinks 15 oz of whole milk a day and some days she eats pretty good meals. Little to no veggies besides her pouches. And mainly fruit. Some days all she want is lil bites of meals, snacks, and fruits. it stresses me out when she doesn’t eat or is being picky😭 anybody else? Happy international women’s day 🫶🏼

Is there a better/healthier brand that sells snacks like these? I make all my baby’s food currently but would like to offer her little snacks like this. And I never hear good things about Gerber. TIA!

So I started weaning my son from 6 months. It’s been nearly 2 months and he absolutely hates lunchtime. Nothing will make him eat it please help

I don't know how this is possible as I have an already 4 year old but im so confused about weaning! I can't remember what i did last time at all!!! My boy is now 9 months and I see so many people giving their younger babies these full blown meals and I'm like..."How??" Surely at this age they are limited on teeth! M...

Hiya all, My little girl is becoming super fussy eater , she only wants plain food or chicken nuggets,fish fingers or oat meal and sometimes she ask cereal for lunch and dinner. ( When she started weaning, she used to eat everything like whatever we eat, she will eat with little spicy but now nothing) It became s...

I made my baby some purée with canned salmon, frozen strawberries, sage and some oat cereal to thicken it up. Things got hectic and I wasn’t able to wash her stuff right away so it sat for a few hours and when I went to wash it there were all these dark spots?? I googled if it could be mold but what I saw said a few...

My boy 9.5 months loved these! I had to give them in bitesize pieces otherwise he shoves the whole thing in at once. Tomato puree, Courgette, Tomato, spinach and cheese.

My baby started not to eat solids. We cook for him and make it a purer and he only takes 3-4 spoons. He use to eat solids a month ago with no problem He has three teeth Please help 🤯🤯 He is so attached to boobs.

He’ll eat breakfast, and of course snacks, but lunch and dinner he hardly eats?!

Any one else's 20 month old, eats all their breakfast, all their lunch but make them a good meal for dinner and won't touch it , throws a tampturm but if I give her like crackers or something she eats it. Been like it for past 3 days , she was fine before would eat her dinner . X

Hi I have started to try my little boy with puree veggies only likes so far sweet potatoe & the Ella’s kitchen pouches which he liked a few of I’m starting with puree due to my confidence. Doesn’t seem that interested that over interested yet - does that mean he isn’t ready or would u persevere? Thanks

My LO is 10 months (starting nursery next month) and always had a combo of purées and BLW from 6-8.5 months. then she started taking massive bites, shoving lots in and struggling to break it down (I know this is normal for that age), but she would panic very quickly and then I couldn’t get her to copy me spitting fo...

If your toddler is anything like mines, a snack bin has done wonders. I put one in their play space and they just come grab what they want, when they want it. Before my oldest would throw fits if you didn’t guess what snack he wanted. Something so simple can make such a difference.

This lunch is so easy and quick to make when I forget to pre-cook something or me and his Dad aren’t eating with him at lunch time. A real crowd pleaser too! The plates normally clean at the end. Scrambled egg, avocado and a toasted bagel with butter.

Any tips on getting my child to drink fluids that isn’t milk? He has his puréed food, Melty sticks and milk. Tried him on water and it was a no, tried him on fruit juice in water and that was a no. Any ideas to get him to drink?

My 7 month old is on two, sometimes three meals a day. Usually breakfast & dinner. I give her half a pouch of Ella’s kitchen for dinner. How much are others giving their babes? I don’t want to give too much so she still drinks her milk which usually hovers around 600-700ml a day (I only get that much in her becaus...

Hi girls, Has anyone else struggled with this? My 11.5 year old has completely stopped eating and his milk intake is very low too. I try giving him 7-8oz if he doesn’t want his meal and he might only take 3-4oz. Since Thursday he has just completely refused solids and can’t get him to eat anything. What I have notic...

I know some love overly ripen bananas to make other recipes, and I do too. But I’m asking about eating the banana as is.
